Mount 100lb mini-split condenser to rear wall?

I have a Coachmen class A and want to mount a 100lb mini-split to the rear wall. Is this too much weight? I know some people use a hitch carrier but ours is occupied. And this RV has no square bumper to put mounts on.

I would use one of these wall mount kits. Maybe this exact model, maybe one like it.

It will be 100 pounds when it's stationary. When it's bouncing down the road it will increase.
Those brackets will probably tear out of the wall.

Maybe if you through bolted the brackets and run steel plates 4' long across the interior wall to spread the load across 4 studs. Yea....that ain't gonna happen....

I would advise against doing so.

What's occupying your hitch carrier?

Might be able to get a shop to weld up something that will hold the air/con and the bikes (?).

I wouldn't trust the walls. In a house, they drill into the 2x4 studs. RVs don't have anything like that.
